This is actually the part I worry most about the players messing up. Originally I was thinking that the duke's corpse should be left behind, but actually I don't see any problems plot-wise if the players can get it out. It would also make more sense if that happened, since the bodyguard would have more of a reason to sacrifice himself (give his lord a chance to live, but in truth he is already dead).</blockquote>
